Like all good, reliable forms of entertainment, memes are going to be here no matter what we’re feeling. We can cry our hearts out to a batch that deal with the darker side of life, or warm our hearts with the reminder that at least in meme form, things aren’t so bad. Just like humor in general, they approach everything that we do and then some. 

We could make a lot of different arguments for the continuing cultural relevance of memes. One of the most compelling ones is the fact that they have so much range. What started as a niche form of distracting entertainment has snowballed into nothing short of a vital part of our daily routines, and that’s no mean feat. In this situation, the best effort we can make is showing our appreciation by consuming as many of them as possible. They have been with us through all our ups and downs for this long, so they may as well stay a bit longer.
